A review by mr_lighthouse
The Innocence of Father Brown by G.K. Chesterton

3.0

A curious situation in which I found myself enjoying the characters more than anything else. Some of the mysteries are quite fun but the majority of them were clearly not meant to be solved by the reader. Father Brown was a thoroughly delightful character in all of the stories and the evolution of Flambeau was a great joy. But at least half of the plots felt downright preposterous and, strangely, all a bit same-y with their overused of “it was all in plain sight you just weren’t told the truth until the end” denouements.
